“…Drip irrigation was found to significantly increase the yield of four cotton varieties at an average of 2,405 kg/ha over the flood irrigation method (Table 3; Choudhary et al, 2016). In the same study, drip irrigation realized the highest water use efficiency ranging from 0.48 to 0.55 kg/m 3 (Figure 12).…”

Complex controls and non-linear responses of the climate system to global warming make it difficult to have clear-cut predictions of future precipitation amounts and timelines. It is, however, evident from current observations that some predictions of unusually high rates of flooding and droughts are occurring and threatening food security in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The impact of climate change is immense on SSA though it contributes the least to climate change globally. Crops face lots of growth challenges which reduce their productivity under drought and flood conditions. SSA must prepare agricultural soils for the anticipated climate variabilities, to ensure sustainable food availability. The effort to adapt soils to climate change must be a concerted one, using technologies from various facets of science. Stakeholders must adopt water-smart strategies that maintain proper soil-water balance. They should focus on manageable inherent soil properties that control the susceptibility/adaptability of cropping systems to climate change. Conservation agriculture techniques that target improving soil organic matter and maintaining soil life; protecting the soil from compaction and erosion; reducing soil disturbance; enhancing soil infiltration and groundwater recharge capacity, must be applied to our soils. A number of these techniques equip the soils to be better sinks of excess water in flood-prone areas and improve water-holding capacities in drought-prone ones. Governments, farmers, and all stakeholders must also invest in both simple and complex water harvesting/ re-directing infrastructure which conserve water for future use. Water-efficient irrigation systems must be employed by farmers during water scarcity. Most importantly, gaps between research, industry, farmers, and governments must be bridged to for easy flow of information on improved technologies and quick adoption of climate change mitigation strategies.

“…In India, irrigation mostly depends on conventional systems with an irrigation efficiency of about 40-45% (Choudhary et al 2016). Integrated drip irrigation is the most effective system for increasing crop yields with a limited supply of irrigation water and precise fertiliser applications.…”

The ever-growing population is driving an increase in the food demand and increasing the need for water in agriculture. Therefore, keeping food security in view, agricultural production requires the continuous improvement of irrigation prac-tices due to the global constraints on freshwater availability and increasing demand of water in the agricultural, industrial, and urban sectors (Dalin et al. 2017;Ma et al. 2020). In the face of dwindling freshwater supplies, and an increasing require-

“…Relay cropping, a sophisticated amalgamation of resource-efficient technologies, holds promise in enhancing soil quality, increasing net returns, improving land equivalent ratios, and managing weed and pest infestations. Studies by Shirahatti et al [7] and Choudhary et al [8] have shown that furrow and drip irrigation methods result in higher Water Use Efficiency (WUE).…”

The Sardar Sarovar project, featuring a gravity dam on the Narmada River in Gujarat, stands as one of the largest in terms of concrete volume globally. This study investigates the project's extensive canal network and its impact on agricultural productivity in the command area. Covering a vast expanse across multiple states, the project's irrigation allocation and water management strategies are examined. Special attention is given to addressing soil degradation issues, particularly salinity, and implementing farmer-centered interventions to enhance water use efficiency. Methodologies include land rejuvenation efforts, reclamation of salt-affected land, participatory irrigation management, and promoting improved agricultural practices. Results indicate successful mitigation of soil degradation and increased crop yields through strategic interventions like cotton-castor relay cropping which has demonstrated a 1.5-fold increase in income compared to sole cropping. Intercropping with isabgul/ajwain, and implementing deficit irrigation have resulted in a substantial 43% increase in overall yield, particularly in cumin cultivation. Farmers have also embraced innovative water-saving techniques, such as alternative furrow irrigation and strategic timing of irrigation during critical growth stages, resulting in water savings of 30-35%. However, challenges remain in achieving widespread adoption of participatory irrigation management practices. The study concludes with insights into the necessity of sustained social engineering efforts and community engagement for long-term water resource management and agricultural sustainability in the project area.
